We have spent many thousands of hours and millions of dollars learning and using "older" technologies that are no longer supported by the original authors, eg. Microsoft, but which can be just as good or better than "new" technologies... We then exhaustively re-engineer these technologies to make them cutting-edge, next-generation toolsets, capable of being used exhaustively by beginners to even the most serious programming enthusiasts... allowing you to create next-generation Windows applications in literally seconds... We see no need to throw away all our money and skills and knowledge and experience just because the original authors do not want to support their slightly older technology... so we utterly enhance existing technologies, keeping the technologies modern, and create next-generation toolsets based on these proven technologies... How about this... this is what we have created sofar on our quest for better development tools... Featuring the "TDx_Library", 107++ fully documented, dynamic, multi-threaded DirectX components for Borland C++ Builder... This is what you can find here... Cutting-Edge Next-Generation programming toolsets for Borland C++ Builder that allow you total control over all sorts of hardware in your pc... From cutting-edge 2d graphics and animation capabilities... ...to multiple sound effects and 3d sounds and music and sound recording... ...to total control over all kinds of next-generation force-feedback input devices, almost any type of joystick or input device you can imagine... ...to transparently networking your applications in minutes, complete as client-server or distributed messaging... ...and don't forget a complete 3d graphics API for sublime control over all sorts of advanced graphics hardware... And it's all as easy to use as Borland C++ Builder itself... ...it's RAD DirectX, or DirectX on steroids... ...or Borland C++ Builder on steroids... ...blended together, like never before... It's the #1 best programming toolset ever invented... ...simple as that... On this website, we've got the #1 solution for programming DirectX applications ever invented, and the most powerful toolset for Borland C++ Builder ever invented. All in one incredibly neat package... the TDx_Library, our RAD toolset for programming all of DirectX using Borland C++ Builder X. ... We've used the best programming technology Microsoft Corporation can develop, DirectX, which is the core programming API of all future Windows pc's, and have worked on it byte by byte to convert it into a unique and unprecedented visual object-oriented rapid-application-development programming toolset for the best technology Borland Corporation can create, Borland C++ Builder... the award-winning RAD C/C++ compiler for Windows programmers. Individually, these core technologies allow the end-programmer to create the most incredible Windows applications... DirectX (normally used with Microsoft's Visual C++) is used to create cutting-edge special fx, and Borland C++ Builder is used for rapid application development programming... ... By blending the capabilities of these two totally incompatible core programming technologies together, seamlessly integrating Microsoft's DirectX into the Borland C++ Builder compiler, all while translating a horribly complex "function library" API into an easy-to-use fully-fledged visual object-oriented programming API, the TDx_Library allows you to easily use both of these core technologies simultaneously, letting you, the end-programmer, create literally any kind of application you desire - and completely code hugely advanced applications in timeframes usually reserved for only very tiny test prototypes... Mixing all the benefits of DirectX's cutting-edge special fx with Borland's C++ Builder RAD compiler, bringing together two incompatible technologies into one incredibly powerful toolset, the TDx_Library offers you the #1 solution to developing applications for Windows pc's ever invented. Just look around this website and see for yourself. ... Our programming tools are Unique, Easy-to-use, General-Purpose, Powerful, Modern, Cutting-Edge, Professional toolsets that allow Borland C++ Builder programmers to experience something totally new - Rapid Application Development DirectX, or "RAD DirectX" for short... Our tools offer a complete Object-Oriented Borland C++ Builder programming solution that removes all the "pain" of programming DirectX... while dramatically enhancing the entire DirectX SDK and Borland C++ Builder by supplying a replacement RAD VCL SDK compatible with the Borland C++ Builder Visual Component Library (VCL), significantly enhancing both Borland C++ Builder's and DirectX's capabilities beyond anything ever before experienced by Borland C++ Builder or DirectX programmers... ... All of the incredibly complex integration problems between DirectX and Borland C++ Builder have been solved for you, all the problems involved in translating the raw DirectX COM interfaces, translating all the DirectX structures, DirectX callbacks, and DirectX event queue management into fully-working Borland C++ Builder RAD Component Libraries has been done for you. All the complex problems involving patching the DirectX SDK so it actually works with Borland C++ Builder have been solved for you... and now you don't have to think about it... it just all works... ...Instead of the normal situation, whereby the two distinct programming toolsets are totally incompatible and you have to spend many weeks attempting to get them to work together, to no end... And it's all transparent and invisible to you, the end-programmer... ... Now all you have to do is become incredibly productive, spending all your time adding amazing special fx to your applications, instead of just wrestling with programming your hardware and the cumbersome Win32 programming API (the bane of Windows programming), and you only need to write 10% of the code normally required to write DirectX applications (thanks to Borland's RAD standards and optimizations built into the TDx_Library)... Indeed, now you can do all sorts of things that before we could only dream of... Imagine writing a commercial-quality game or multimedia app using the RAD benefits of Borland C++ Builder, it's so easy... ... You can mix and match DirectX programming with the Borland C++ Builder Visual Component Library (VCL), because the TDx_Library is simply an extension to the native VCL API, so you can prototype your application in minutes and then enhance it dramatically just as quickly... To add incredible sound fx, animation and so on to your Borland C++ Builder applications, instead of worrying about "how can i do this"... With the TDx_Library, you just do it, easy as, writing one line of code per action, and everything required to make it happen is totally invisible to you, the end-programmer... ... For example, to play multiple sounds simultaneously, you would simply create one sound buffer for each .wav file you want to play, then at the appropriate point in your code, you just tell DirectX to play the relevant sound out of the relevant sound hardware, and lo and behold, the sounds are played back for you immediately, and any realtime sound mixing and format conversion is done for you automatically, allowing you to play as many sound fx as you desire simultaneously... You can play literally thousands of sounds simultaneously, using all available sound devices simultaneously if you wish, with the absolute minimum of programming code required - nearly always 1 line of code per action. ... Another example, to draw multiple images on multiple monitors simultaneously, you would simply create one image buffer for each .bmp file you wish to display, another for the screen, and at the appropriate point in your code, you just tell DirectX to draw the relevant image using the relevant display hardware, and lo and behold, the images are drawn for you immediately, and any realtime blitting effects or pixel translations are done for you automatically, allowing you to draw as many images fx as you desire simultaneously... You can draw literally thousands of images simultaneously, using all available display devices simultaneously if you wish, with the absolute minimum of programming code required - nearly always 1 line of code per action. ... Sit back and relax, take the time to look around... Our tools are awesome... they are cheap, powerful, quick and easy-to-use... ...and they are for all C++ programmers, from beginners to advanced coders... There's nothing like our tools anywhere on the internet, the TDx_Library is the best programming solution for developing Windows applications, and nothing compares to raw RAD DirectX power... try it for yourself and see... ... Please, register our tools and join our TDx_Library community today. You will not be sorry. Together, maybe we can convince Microsoft Corporation and Borland Corporation of the merits of supporting such RADical software... ... Don't forget to tell other people all about the TDx_Library... Please, splatter the internet with the TDx_Library... Please help us out in some small way each time you visit or think about us... ... The internet is a huge place, and most people know nothing about our cool tools... Think how happy other people would be to be able to develop better applications using our tools, if only other people knew about them... Maybe by working together we could somehow help Borland Corporation and Microsoft Corporation and the industry and breath some more life into the compiler / api's we already know at the same time... It's a win for everyone... a win for them, a win for you, and a win for us... ... There's at least a million Borland C++ Builder programmers out there who know nothing of our tools... please help us get in contact with them... or help them get in contact with us... And there are many millions more DirectX programmers out there who know nothing of our tools... please help us get in contact with them... or help them get in contact with us... ... Everyone starts somewhere... I started from literally nothing and now (23+ years later) i have created the best RAD DirectX tools available on the internet... and they are now available for you to download and register and use immediately... no more hassles... And we are just starting to come on steam... as we expand our tools into the future, we expect our RAD DirectX tools to remain mainstream cutting-edge solutions for both businesses and individuals with many planned enhancements... ... Thanks for reading this... I hope you are interested in what i've achieved... it is the result of 23+ years of dedicated, incredibly frustrating and mind-numbing bloody hard work! And, i realize, nobody forced me to create such incredible toolsets, but i did it mostly because i wanted to use the end-result myself, and ultimately make a living selling, supporting and upgrading the tools so they become the most powerful toolsets anyone has ever developed... ...something which i believe i have already achieved with the TDx_Library v1.80, and will soon leave behind with the release of the TDx_Library v1.90... - Darren Dwyer, - Creator of BCB-Tools.com, the TDx_Library, the TDx9_Library and the BCB_Code_Generator.
